Synthetica look and feel throws a class cast exception when using JLayer with JscrollPane with Java 11

Question

Synthetica look and feel throws a class cast exception when using JLayer with JscrollPane with Java 11. It works fine with Java 8. Is there a way to fix this?

Code example

public class TestFrame extends JFrame
{
  TestFrame()
  {
    this.setSize(300,400);
    this.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea(20, 20);
    JScrollPane scrollableTextArea = new JScrollPane(textArea);
    LayerUI<JScrollPane> layerUI = new LayerUI();
    JLayer<JScrollPane> jLayer = new JLayer(scrollableTextArea, layerUI);
    this.add(jLayer);
  }

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    try
    {
      UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new SyntheticaAluOxideLookAndFeel());
      TestFrame testFrame = new TestFrame();
      testFrame.setVisible(true);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

}

Error stacktrace
